Title: Swedish pitcher, Upsala Ekeby, Sparta
Post by: aDawn on February 08, 2013, 12:56:39 PM: Hello again everyone :) Hope you're all doing well today.

I have a piece that I'm having a lot of trouble with. It's a small pitcher, probably only 4 or 5 inches tall. I'm guessing mid century? The bottom is marked

Sparta
Upsala - Ekeby
UE
Sweden
Gefle
016410

I am having issues finding it, especially since most pages come up in Swedish :/

Any info on age, value, and information on the maker would be awesome!
Thanks everyone!

This is a modern piece. I'm still checking for your exact piece.

This still isn't the right pattern, but close.

Maybe that's why not every original poster responds. Maybe they're just mean ;D

Post by: aDawn on February 18, 2013, 09:48:20 PM: Anyone want to take a stab on what I could sell it for? There seems to be quite a range in pricing for UE. I'm guessing mine is on the more conservative side.
